things I had on my PDA (personal digital assistant)
Can’t remember all the programs I had in the WorkPad c3, but the ones I remember include
HandyShopper; DiddleBug; a clock program; a mirror thingie; and a neat thing for entering characters, which I made an overlay for (I had no problem with the Graffiti, except when entering Swedish letters with diacritics – it simply took too long – and the program gave me “shortcuts”).
I also had a bunch of games.
…and a post code fix (we put the post code before the city); and a nice thing to get odd minutes for appointments (e.g. 09:52-11:03, instead of 09:50-11:05 – that program was a Hack, though, i.e. doesn’t work with later Palms :-( ).

never used them – uses HandyShopper instead (for all three of them!)
Handy Shopper was the main reason why I chose a Palm again …apart from the fact that I was now well familiar with the Palm OS – eventhough it’s now available for Windows Mobile as well)
I use HandyShopper to balance my bank account(s), remember passwords, list things (like “films I’ve got”, “books I ought to read (someday)”, “things I should do, sooner or later”), …and of course as a shopping list (I use “aisle” to make a note on the date I wrote down the price). - Traffic
